Title: I done summat very silly.....
Post by: detz on October 24, 2003, 01:20:39 AM

Changed the icons of a few of my drawers, but now they are executables rather than drawers. How can i change this, or do i have to copy the old ones back?

Ps its all part of a contest me and a friend are having to see who can have the most old school looking OS. I'll let you know how it goes!

Starting two identical threads at once is also rather silly ;-)

Your problem is, I assume, that you simply copied the .info files across. What you need to do is use a program which copies the image from one .info file and writes it into a new one, leaving tooltypes, icontypes, etc. intact.

There are probably a few PD ones on Aminet.

well im not sure about pre OS3.9 and rawbinfo but I do know that with rawbinfo you can do this....

click on the icon's in question (one at a time obviously). Then using the right mouse button menu goto, icon/information. The icon information will popup.... then using the right mouse button menu in that goto type, and change its type to a drawer. Thats it! click save and its sorted... well hopefully :)

There is another way by loading in the icons into iconedit and using that to change its type if the above method doesnt work... I havent used a pre OS3.9 OS for any length of time in ages....

One day I will get payed for this ;-)

IconEdit itself can do that much...
